Wechson posted:@adbono the ONE measurable that seems to carry full weight is fastball velo. My guy gave up 7 walks all summer, had a sub .70 WHIP against solid competition all season. Clowned kids at HF with his location and off speed stuff. Guys who were turning on other kids heaters. Suspect he would have been signed (he certainly got conversations started) if he was throwing high 80s as opposed to low 80s. But that velo threshold appears to be the reality so all good...just have to keep training for that one specific thing and suspect the rest will fall into place.
That’s true and it’s frustrating to a lot of us. And I was a hard thrower ! Not saying I’m a total convert but point is to get hitters out. Keep doing that and someone will give him a chance. Problem is that it may not be where you want. That makes for tough decisions.
